I don't think you've been mistaken, assuming this old newsgroup post from '97 has some merit to it.

Not at all. The first show I saw when my family signed up for cable in 1986 was All Star Blitz on USA.

Ah, now those were the glory days. USA also had MML and GONG in their arsenal for a while as well.

/Wish I had actually had cable at that point. My community was verrr-rrry slow in that regard.

Vaguely...I know it aired in the afternoons around 2 or 2:30 in the late-80s. I remember the 1989 Geoff Edwards version better.

I didn't want to go beyond the scope of the original question, so anything before 90 and after 93 was not included.
